International supermodel Cindy Crawford chronicles her life and career, sharing stories and lessons learned, and featuring her most memorable images in this New York Times bestseller. ?Cindy Crawford was the cornerstone of the golden age of the supermodel in the 1990s. She blazed a trail during that decade, seamlessly moving between the runway to unconventional outlets, such as cutting-edge MTV, Super Bowl commercials, and even Playboy magazine. On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Crawford looks back, photo shoot by photo shoot, on a remarkable career and various life lessons she absorbed. She discusses her earliest modeling years and learning how to become less self-conscious in front of a camera; trusting her own instincts about creating positive messages about a healthy and strong body image that she knew would reach women of all ages; her feelings about becoming a wife and a mother; and her thoughts about turning fifty and what she would tell her younger self if she had the chance. The photographs span her entire career, beginning from the mid 1980s, and feature unpublished images from Crawford’s personal archive in addition to images by every top name in fashion photography, including Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, and Richard Avedon, among others. A beautifully illustrated series of stories, Becoming is a smart and engaging book that sheds light into the life and work of an extraordinary woman.

Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, a series of 69 black-and-white photographs created between 1977 and 1980, is widely seen as one of the most original and influential achievements in recent art. Witty, provocative and searching, this lively catalogue of female roles inspired by the movies crystallizes widespread concerns in our culture, examining the ways we shape our personal identities and the role of the mass media in our lives. Sherman began making these pictures in 1977 when she was 23 years old. The first six were an experiment: fan-magazine glimpses into the life (or roles) of an imaginary blond actress, played by Sherman herself. The photographs look like movie stills--or perhaps publicity pix--purporting to catch the blond bombshell in unguarded moments at home. The protagonist is shown preening in the kitchen and lounging in the bedroom. Onto something big, Sherman tried other characters in other roles: the chic starlet at her seaside hideaway, the luscious librarian, the domesticated sex kitten, the hot-blooded woman of the people, the ice-cold sophisticate and a can-can line of other stereotypes. She eventually completed the series in 1980. She stopped, she has explained, when she ran out of clich s.Other artists had drawn upon popular culture but Sherman's strategy was new. For her the pop-culture image was not a subject (as it had been for Walker Evans) or raw material (as it had been for Andy Warhol) but a whole artistic vocabulary, ready-made. Her film stills look and function just like the real ones--those 8 x 10 glossies designed to lure us into a drama we find all the more compelling because we know it isn't real. In the Untitled Film Stills there are no Cleopatras, no ladies on trains, no women of a certain age. There are, of course, no men. The 69 solitary heroines map a particular constellation of fictional femininity that took hold in postwar America--the period of Sherman's youth and the starting point for our contemporary mythology. In finding a form for her own sensibility, Sherman touched a sensitive nerve in the culture at large. Although most of the characters are invented, we sense right away that we already know them. That twinge of instant recognition is what makes the series tick and it arises from Cindy Sherman's uncanny poise. There is no wink at the viewer, no open irony, no camp.In 1995, The Museum of Modern Art purchased the series from the artist, preserving the work in its entirety. This book marks the first time that the complete series will be published as a unified work, with Sherman herself arranging the pictures in sequence.
Published to accompany the first major survey of Cindy Sherman’s work in the United States in nearly 15 years, this publication presents a stunning range of work from the groundbreaking artist’s 35-year career. Showcasing approximately 180 photographs from the mid-1970s to the present, including new works made for the exhibition and never before published, the volume is a vivid exploration of Sherman’s sustained investigation into the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation. The book highlights major bodies of work including her seminal ‘Untitled Film Stills’ (1977–80); ‘Centerfolds’ (1981); ‘History Portraits’ (1989– 90); ‘Headshots’ (2000); and two recent series on the experience and representation of aging in the context of contemporary obsessions with youth and status. An introductory essay by curator Eva Respini provides an overview of Sherman’s career, weaving together art historical analysis and discussions of the artist’s working methods, and a contribution by art historian Johanna Burton offers a critical re-examination of Sherman’s work in light of her recent series. A conversation between Cindy Sherman and filmmaker John Waters provide an enlightening view into the creative process.
Cindy Sherman: Working Girl

When curators at Saint Louis's Contemporary Art Museum asked Cindy Sherman whether there was a moment in her career whose resonance might be underappreciated, one around which she might like to develop an exhibit and a book, she selected her earliest adult creative years, beginning while she was still a student at Buffalo State College in the mid-1970s. Working Girl is full of rarely seen pieces, and it features, for the first time, documentation of and stills from Sherman's 1975 animated short Doll Clothes, which is among the pieces that bring Sherman's early exploration of gender and identity into focus. The mostly small-scale work, including many early black-and-white, hand-colored, and sepia-toned photographs, is culled primarily from the artist's family members' collections and her own, and includes the pieces that laid the groundwork for her first major success, the acclaimed Film Stills series. Working Girl is a unique glimpse into the early development of Sherman's artistic practice, and into the genesis of her inimitable substance and style. It illuminates her conceptual approach to photography and foretells the career that would be launched in the late 1970s, positioning her as one of the most significant artists of our time.

Cindy and Ringo is about a little girl and her journey in eventually adopting her first pet. Among the many cute cats to choose from, Ringo is a special cat with his own story of abandonment and longs to have a family of his own one day. While visiting a local cat shelter in search of a kitten, 5 year-old Cindy notices a particularly lonely looking older cat, Ringo, who quickly befriends her. Cindy learns the valuable lesson that pets can be loving friends at any age. Paul was inspired to write Cindy and Ringo after his eye-opening experience volunteering at a local no-kill cat shelter. The shelter housed hundreds of abandoned -mostly adult cats- that the staff struggled with daily to care for. The goal was to try to find homes for these animals through adoption. Unfortunately, many people were only interested in adopting kittens or very young animals. Paul's intent is to encourage people to visit local animal shelters and consider adopting adult animals as well.
Cindy spent her entire adult life caring for the sick. She was a good nurse who cared about her patients. Since she retired she spends most of her days with her beloved cats. One day a new cat comes into her life. Her name was "Lotus" and soon after Cindy welcomes her into her home, Lotus has four Kittens. Cindy is heartbroken when her favorite kitten mysteriously disappears.

Five years ago I was released from a Mistress/female slave relationship that lasted almost three years. I was trained well during that time and my release from servitude was not due to my own misconduct or inability as a slave. Still suddenly I found myself alone. I was an experienced masochist. I have been submissive since I was little and it's something I no longer fight. From a young age, I always followed the rules and let other people lead. I searched for a while for the perfect older woman who would accept me as her slave. I wanted to live with her and for her to be in control of me as she is of her other property. I love older women, especially mommy dommes and disciplinarians. I wanted to be a slave to a sadistic Mistress for the rest of my life. I wanted to belong to a woman I could worship. I was ready to once again devote myself to being a Mistress' full time slave. Happily I found her and eagerly I became the domestic and sex slave she required. However she is a very strict Mistress and punishment is doled out liberally in her house. Typically in the morning I wake up and fix Mistress breakfast. She may call me into the bedroom to pleasure her if she is in the mood, particularly if it's the weekend. I may need to help her dress but usually while she is in her underwear or slip, she'll gives me a good over the knee spanking before she goes to work. She says it helps get her blood pumping and be more ready for the day. Those morning spankings can really wake me up fast. It's usually always with a paddle or strap. Mistress doesn't usually spank me with her hand anymore, she used to several years ago. As Mistress is paddling me in the morning, she will tell me what she wants me to do that day, assuming there is something she has on her mind. I have to admit that today was different as Mistress started the day very angry with me. I was supposed to get more of her shampoo and lip stick when I went shopping yesterday but forgot. She found out as she was taking a shower. As she was drying off she called me in, ordered me to crawl from the bedroom door to the foot of the bed and was lecturing me about being forgetful. She hates it when I'm forgetful; frankly it's something I have a problem with. I knew I was in a lot of trouble. I could see she was winding up to really spank me hard. I apologized of course but that rarely does any good. She ordered me to set the chair up in the middle of the bedroom and get the large black wooden paddle. She ordered me to bend over the back of the chair so my hands were on the chair seat and my butt was the highest thing on me.
